Unstable Wind Patterns at Night Could Impact Energy Production and Safety.
The article examines how wind speed and direction change with height in the atmosphere near Denmark. The researchers used various instruments to measure wind patterns over six months. They found that wind speed and direction vary with stability conditions, with wind shear and turning being unstable during the day and stable at night. The study also showed that wind shear and wind turning are closely related, especially when using lidar observations. The unexpected results may be due to low measurement numbers and heat flux values.
